Can you believe it is November already and Thanksgiving is just around the corner?
It is probably the holiday that I get the most questions about because so many of the traditional foods—dinner rolls, stuffing, gravy, pies and other desserts—are wheat-based. And, for non-gluten-free folks, it can be stressful when trying to cook safely for gluten-free guests.
So, my partners at GfreeCuisine.com and I wrote the Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Menu Planner that you can buy as an e-book at Amazon.com for only $2.99.
The 59-page e-book contains delicious, simple gluten free recipes that make Thanksgiving memorable. It also includes a grocery list, planning guide, and life-saving Thanksgiving tips that will prevent turkey trauma—especially if you are new to the gluten-free lifestyle and apprehensive about cooking on the big day.
I know that it is hard to please everyone because people have preconceived notions about the Thanksgiving menu and how it should taste. So, the recipes in this e-cookbook are the classics—but revised with gluten-free ingredients that look and taste like old favorites. And, because the flavors taste familiar, everyone is happy—even if they’re not gluten-free.
Recipes include appetizer, turkey, gravy, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, dinner rolls, and a pumpkin trifle dessert that is perfect for entertaining and very simple to make so you don’t have to fuss with a piecrust.
Also, some turkeys can be injected with solutions that could contain wheat, so buy a fresh one like I do and brine it for the most wonderful flavor. We tell you how to do it.
The e-book also gives you a time-plan, day by day, so you know what to do before and on the big day to make the meal come together beautifully and make you the perfect host.
The Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Menu Planner is offered by me and GfreeCuisine, a weekly recipe and menu-planning service that helps gluten-free families decide what to prepare for dinner during the coming week. Each Thursday, 10 new menus (with side-dish selections) are available to subscribers, who pay $10 per month. Subscribers choose 5 of the menus (one for each weeknight) and print out a customized grocery list, based on the 5 menus they selected. The grocery list is organized by sections of the grocery store, making shopping much more efficient. All dishes are gluten-free and dairy-free and several are kid-friendly and vegetarian, as well. Recipes for a wide array of desserts and breads are also provided for subscribers.
